I was wondering if anyone had come across the weather icons from intellicast.com. I think they look very nice and wondered if there was a "skinner" out there that could format these to work with today plus (i.e. get the correct size and all). Or if someone could lead me in the right direction to do it myself I would be happy to do so. Here is the link to the icons:

Here is another site with icons that are unique to what I have seen browsing this forum.

You could use any icons, you just need to save the icons with the correct file name ("1.png/bmp" = Windy, "3.png/bmp" = Thunderstorm, etc.). Reference the WidList (http://www.dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?t=3).

I guess the other question would be do I need to manipulate the icons from these websites (shrink them or something) to make them appear correctly within TodayPlus?

Thanks,

Coleman, those are some nice icons.

Didn't have time to work on them a whole lot. I just ripped them to 30x30 pixels.

That was the size of the ones on the skin I currently use - "Calendar" by Blazingwolf.

I posted them over in the new skins/graphics portion of the forums.

Oh yeah,

I was using those WWIS icons for a while, but they didn't quite match up with my themes.

I posted those in the new skins/icons thread as well.

Astro-

I also currently use the Calender Skin by Blazing Wolf and it would be interesting to see these weather icons in that skin. I will go check the icons you posted and give them a try and see how they look. Thanks for posting them for everyone.

PS. I am colemanh but had to switch names because I guess I forgot to activate my account as colemanh. :)

Astro-

Here is a link to a couple of sites that have many weather icons! If you are looking for new ones to use or post for everyone here, this is a good site for them I think. Check it out. Some of them animate, but not sure if they would animate on pda like that or not.

I like the CNN icons but it is not a complete list.
